Information Board at Penny's Corner, Bourne End
This information board has been erected by Wooburn & Bourne End Parish Council and is located in Station Road (A4094) near the junction with Cores End Road. It shows a map of Bourne End with words and photos surrounding it. It has the following wording:
Previously the Nag's Head public house stood on this important junction where
the road from Cookham connected with the route into Marlow and provided access
to riverside wharves.
From a small cluster of cottages called Bone End, the arrival of the railway
created a local station called Marlow Road and later changed to Bourne End. With it came business and recreation.
Lloyds Bank was built in 1925 with endless fields behind.
The Parade of shops on the left towards Marlow is dated 1902.
Business developed around the railway station, the tavern became a hotel,
riverside land was developed, papermills expanded to meet industrial needs and
the Victorian and Edwardian love of day trips brought visitors in their
hundreds to enjoy boating.
Sometime after the end of the Second World War the Nag's Head public house
was demolished and the land acquired by Bucks County Council. Plans to develop
with shops and flats caused a local outcry as the land had been cultivated by
former parish council chairman, Penny Walsh, and her husband Brian.
Eventually, it was bought by the parish council and officially named Penny's
Corner.
